Hello! My name is Gaby and I'm a seeker and adventurer, living life to it's fullest. I'm located in the heart of northern Vermont where I regularly teach yoga and offer bodywork. I thrive on fresh air and connecting with people!

I tried yoga throughout my childhood and teenage years, but it didn't stick until needing asana to relieve tight, sore muscles from snowboarding. I began attending free hatha classes at college. I carried years of physical, mental, & emotional stress in my body so when I began practicing regularly, I started to experience releases of lifelong stress. There were powerful shifts in my frame of mind and approach to life, leading me to dive directly into the healing practice of yoga at an early age.

I served seva (selfless service/volunteer) at Kripalu Center for Health and Yoga and the Sri Swami Satchidananda Ashram, also known as Yogaville. These experiences taught me to integrate yoga into daily life and not just with asana (poses). The intensity and depth of living experienced in these yoga centers, impacts my teaching style in a way that allows me to make yoga accessible and welcoming to all ages, abilities, body types, and people in general. I began my yoga teaching journey with friends and fellow youth at Unitarian Universalist conferences.

In 2007 I was hanging upside down in kapotasana (pigeon pose) with my body wrapped in aerial silk, thanks to Carrie Tyler of Rasamaya yoga. The silk was draped over a strong branch of an old growth pine on the coast of Maine, in the midst of a glorious summer day. The lightness and freedom I experienced during these moments of suspension led me to make a commitment to yoga training where Carrie initially studied, Yoga Vermont.

I've been teaching classes since 2007. I offer gentle to moderate classes, restorative, slow flow, core yoga, winter sport preseason and in-season conditioning, yoga for hikers, pranayama, mantra, and meditation. I also teach Yoga for a Healthy Body and Self Image which offers modifications and methods for students with big bodies, bodies in pain, people who face eating disorders or disordered eating, body/self-image issues, or who are part of the GLBQT community looking for a safe welcoming place to practice. This series is all-inclusive, attracting all body types, genders, ages, and abilities. It's a safe and supportive, judgment free class for all to explore within. My teaching style is welcoming, accessible, light-hearted, and whole. In addition to asana, you can expect pranayama, mantra/chanting, meditation, light philosophy, and laughter!

Yoga has taught me that every moment we have a choice. There is an opportunity to choose to practice, to make a change, to breathe and open our deepest sense of self to the light, the darkness and the entire spectrum of possibility that exists within the present moment and within each of ourselves. I will challenge you to look within - at your whole self, letting go of judgment. I will gently push you to tap into your own strength and innate power. Regular practice creates the potential and power to transform you.
